Does anyone have any experience with NI-TClk with a dual channel PXIe-5423. I have two dual channel cards that I need to synchronize. The synchronization on one dual channel module should be automatic, but I need to synchronize with the other module too. Previously I was using NI-TClk with 3 PXIe-5422 arbs. Eventually I would like to have four channels, which is part of the reason I upgraded. My existing code for NI-TClk doesn't work, so I'm hoping someone has done this before with these new modules.

I haven't seen examples for something like this specifically, can you elaborate on what you have tried and any parts in which you are having difficulties.

Here is the example from NI "C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2015\examples\instr\niFgen\Fgen Arb Synchronize (TClk).vi", it works with two PXI-5422 modules but doesn't work with two PXIe-5423 modules. I put in a help ticket with NI and they asked for a MAX report and the exact error, which was -250032, niTClk Configure for Homogenous Triggers.vi:2010001

NI Support: “Currently we don't have TCLK support for our newer arbs (5413, 5423, and 5433), but we are working on adding this”

In case anyone runs into this question again in the future, all PXIe-54x3 devices have NI-TClk compatibility as of NI-FGEN 18.1.

Thanks for letting us know. I'm glad it's supported because I'm resuming my project and I hope this works.
